A first-class lever always increases mechanical advantage, as the effort arm is longer than the load arm. The mechanical advantage is determined by the ratio of the lengths of the two arms of the lever.
Class 1 and Class 2 levers always have a mechanical advantage greater than 1. In a Class 1 lever, the input arm is longer than the output arm, while in a Class 2 lever, the output arm is longer than the input arm, resulting in a mechanical advantage greater than 1.
In a first class lever, as the distance from the fulcrum to the point where the input force is applied increases, the mechanical advantage also increases. This means that the lever becomes more efficient at moving a load with less effort.
To increase the mechanical advantage of a third-class lever, you can adjust the distances between the effort force, the fulcrum, and the load. By increasing the length of the effort arm or decreasing the length of the load arm, you can increase the mechanical advantage.
The mechanical advantage of a lever is the ratio of the length of the lever on the applied force side of the fulcrum to the length of the lever on the resistance force side of the fulcrum. There are three types of levers - class 1, class 2, and class 3.

A first-class lever always increases mechanical advantage, as the effort arm is longer than the load arm. The mechanical advantage is determined by the ratio of the lengths of the two arms of the lever.

Increasing the distance between the pivot point and the effort force, or decreasing the distance between the pivot point and the load, could increase the mechanical advantage of a second-class lever. Additionally, using a longer lever arm can also increase the mechanical advantage.
Second class lever. . . . Always greater than 1 . Third class lever . . . . . Always less than 1 . First class lever . . . . . Can be greater than 1 or less than 1 depending on position of fulcrum.
Multiply (the input force) x (the lever's mechanical advantage).
mechanical advantage is the output force divided by the input force
Move the focal point of the leaver.
A machine with a mechanical advantage of less than 1 is always a Class 3 lever. In a Class 3 lever, the effort force is applied between the fulcrum and the resistance force, resulting in a mechanical advantage always less than 1.
